John R Longcroft-Neal

I live in Nuneaton, which is in the middle of England. I was a middle school teacher for 25 years and then retired early and moved on to a career as a self-employed signwriter. This work took me into video making for tutorials about signwriting and later, surprisingly popular was handwriting for adults. My old YouTube channel is devoted to this work.
Since I retired five years ago when I was 65 I was able to indulge in my other hobbies/ activities, such as cycling, videography, local history and painting, more music and vlogging in general. It is said that the death knell of any YouTube channel is to be diverse and deal with lots of different subjects, well this is exactly what I'm doing. My previous channel had 17,000 subscribers but now I can just about muster 500. I see this as an advantage because the dedicated few who comment on my videos are a precious gang that I get to know quite well. Each video on this channel has more details about me.
